Re: [ietf-dkim] SSP = FAILURE

The best way to help end-users avoid getting phished it to not accept
phishing messages for delivery.  DKIM-SSP where strict policy
statements are published offer a mechanism for this.

I get a message from security(_at_)ebay-verify(_dot_)com(_dot_)  It has a 
valid
signature.  I check the SSP for ebay-verify.com, which says "MAJOR
PHISHING TARGET, ACCEPT ONLY WITH SIGNATURE."  So I drop it into the
recipient's mailbox with a gold star on it.

What have we just accomplished?

A bad thing.  Don't put the gold star on it.  That would be a mistake.

I think we all agree it would be a mistake.

How does DKIM-SSP help us not to put the gold star on it?  Someone
said that DKIM-SSP offers a mechanism to not accept phishing messages
for delivery.
